FBI FOLLIES EXPOSED

JFK PLOT A PLOY

by

Paul L. Williams, Ph.D.

Russell Defreitas, 67, a US citizen born in Guyana, and Abdul Kadir, 58, a resident of Guyana, have been found guilty of conspiring to blow up buildings, fuel tanks and pipelines at the JFK Airport in the New York City borough of Queens.

The two jihadi wannabees, who were arrested in June 2007, now face up to life in prison.

Defreitas, who had worked at the airport, provided knowledge of its facilities and layout, US prosecutors said, while Kadir, an engineer, helped with technical aspects such as how to blow up the buried fuel pipelines.

Defense attorneys for the men portrayed them as all bluster and no substance. Prosecutors said Defreitas and Kadir did more than just talk and “took concrete steps to make this plan a reality.”

But few in the courtroom could deny that the two Muslims who sought to kill thousands of Americans and to cripple the US economy were victims of entrapment.

The JFK plot was conceived not by a radical Islamic group but rather by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

It was engineered, as court records show, by an attempt to capture Adnan el Shukrijumah, the Most Wanted Terrorist in the Western hemisphere.

Shukrijumah, a native American, has been singled out by al Qaeda to spearhead the next attack on American soil – - an attack that has been labeled “the American Hiroshima” by FBI Director Robert Mueller and other intelligence officials.

The search for Shukrijumah got underway in March 2003 with the arrest of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in Pakistan and the information on his computer that the American jihadi, who allegedly received nuclear training at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, was singled out to serve as the next Muhammad Atta.

A $5 million reqard was placed on Shukrijumah’s head, a 24 hour hotline for information concerning his whereaboutrs was established, and special FBI office to supervise the massive manhunt was set up in southern Florida.

In April 2003, the FBI learned that Shukrijumah had made his way to Guyana, the homeland of his Muslim father.

In Georgetown, Guyana, Shukrijumah came under the protection of Farouk Razac, a family friend and well-heeled financier.

He was spotted at the Swiss House Cambio, Razac’s money exchange, by several witnesses, including George Bacchus, a law enforcement informant.

At the Cambio, Shukrijumah met one of Razac’s closest clients – - Imam Muhammed Hassan Abrahemi, the director of the International Islamic College for Advanced Studies, a small Shiite school in Georgetown that received large amounts of revenue from the government of Iran.

Abdul Kadir

He became acquainted with Abdul Nur, a civil engineer, who ran errands for Razac; Abdul Kadir, who served as the assistant director at Abrahemi’s Islamic College; and Russell Defreitas, a member of the Guyanese Parliament and leader of Jamaat ul-Muslimeen.

This new association would produce a trial of corpses leading to a plot to a botched FBI sting and an attempt to blow up the fuel line that feeds the JFK International Airport in New York.

The first victim was Abrahemi, who was kidnapped by two masked men as he was leaving the Islamic College on April 2, 2004. Several days later, his body was discovered within a shallow grave on the outskirts of Georgetown. The hit appeared to be professional. Abrahemi had been shot twice in the back of the head while assuming a kneeling position. His mouth had been taped shut with duct tape, and his hands and feet were bound by nylon cords. The perpetuators of the crime have never been caught.

By this time, the FBI had managed to infiltrate Jamaat ul-Muslimeen and made use of undercover agents to pose as jihadis and to work with Nur, Kadir, and Dufreitas in an attempt to lure the elusive Shukrijumah into a trap.

The undercover agents provided the terrorist group with money and logistical support, compliments of US taxpayers, to launch a plot to blow up a system of jet fuel supply tanks and pipelines that feed fuel to the JFK International Airport in Queens, New York.

Later, U. S. Attorney Roslynn Mauskoff would appear before the press to say that the planned attack represented “one of the most chilling plots imaginable” – - a plot which might have caused “unthinkable devastation.”

In reality, the plot was a ploy since exploding the fuel tanks represented a technical impossibility. Jet fuel does not produce explosive force, and the pipelines and fuel tanks that are buried beneath Queens have safety valves to prevent any mishap.[i]

The FBI had assumed that a well-oiled scheme to blow up a massive international airport and an entire borough of Manhattan would lure Shukrijumah from his hiding place. The assumption proved to be incorrect. Shukrijumah failed to appear at any of planning sessions in Trinidad and Guyana, and the federal officials were left not only with a hefty bill for the cockamamie scheme but also the creation of a new and financially flush arm of Jamaat ul-Muslimeen.

Nur, Kadir, Dufreitas and Kareem Ibrahim, a fourth operative, were taken into custody albeit several the arrests were a result of entrapment.[ii] “We thought he could be the invisible hand. He’s always in the shadows, particularly in [the Caribbean]. He’s passed through it, he’s known, his name came up in the conversations. He would have been the prize,” an FBI official later confirmed.

On May 7, 2007, two months after the airport plot went array, Farouk Razac was found dead in his Georgetown home with a wound to his head and marks around his neck. An autopsy report concluded that he had died of asphyxiation due to ligature strangulation. Carol Ann Lynch, Razac’s wife, was later charged with the homicide but few observers believed that the petite Lynch, who served as the reigning Miss South America, was capable of the crime.[iii]

Meanwhile, federal officials remain at a loss to locate the country’s leading terror suspect.

OIL PRICES TO SKYROCKET

by

Paul L. Williams, Ph.D.

Iran is the fourth-largest oil producing country in the world; yet, it is now running out of gas.

The Shiite country lacks the refining capacity to transform their oil reserves into gasoline or diesel.

In order to meet the demands of domestic consumption, Teheran must import 130,000 to 150,000 barrels of gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and other refined petroleum products a day.

Without such imports, the Iranian economy would be crippled; air transport would be brought to a standstill; trains and buses would stop running; out-fired power plants would go dark; and trucks delivering vital supplies to cities would remain parked in garage warehouses.

The problem has been greatly exacerbated by the economic sanctions against Iran which President Obama signed into law on July 1.

The sanctions impose stiff penalties on any company – - foreign and domestic – - that delivers refined petroleum products to Iran or that assists the Iranian government with domestic refining.

Royal Dutch Shell, India’s Reliance Industries, Russian oil-giant Lukoil, Malaysia’s Petronas, and Swiss independent oil trader Glencore have halted sales of gasoline and refined oil to Teheran.

Lloyd’s of London – - which accounts for 20% of the global marine insurance market – - will no longer insure or reinsure petroleum shipments to Iran.

The problem is further complicated by the decision of the Ahmadinejad regime to secure public support by subsidizing the cost of domestic fuel prices. Motorists in Teheran pay less than $.35 a gallon for gasoline – - about one-seventh of the costs for Americans.

As a gesture of solidarity with Iran, Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez pledged to supply 20,000 barrels of gasoline a day. But Chavez has been unable to keep this promise since three of his largest refineries are located in the United States.

The only solution for the Iranian government in this current crisis, according to economist Bob Czeschin, resides in its attempt to cut off oil supplies to the West by blocking the narrow Strait of Hormuz through which thousands of freighters carrying one third of the world’s oil supplies pass every day.

This plan could be implemented with little or no difficulty. Czeschin explains: “A couple of tankers sunk in the right place could easily close the Strait and cut off those supplies. So could anti-shipping mines – - which Iran has in abundance.”

Only by such tactics, Czeschin and other economists believe, can President Ahmadinejad ward off the possibility of a popular uprising, if not civil war.

In any case, the current situation is certain to cause oil prices to skyrocket and the lives of middle-class Americans to undergo an immediate and drastic transformation.

GOD BLESS ARIZONA!

TIME FOR SUCCESSION?

“STATES HAVE RIGHT TO DEFEND THEMSELVES”

thelastcrusade.org

An Arizona sheriff believes the Supreme Court will ultimately have to overturn Wednesday’s ruling by U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton that blocked implementation of most of the new state measure cracking down on those who are in the country illegally.

Judge Susan Bolton handed a victory to President Barack Obama and supporters of illegal aliens by preventing the most significant sections of Arizona’s new immigration law from taking effect on Thursday.

She gutted the sections that required officers to check a person’s immigration status while enforcing other laws, the requirement that immigrants carry their papers at all times, and the section which bans illegal immigrants from seeking employment in public places.

Sheriff Larry Dever of Cochise County believes this case will be appealed all the way to the Supreme Court.

“Our best chance at a favorable decision is…to solve this once and for all. States have a right to protect themselves,” Sheriff Dever says. He adds that “the lame argument in federal government that this law somehow interferes with their ability to enforce immigration law is just ludicrous” because “they’re not getting it done to begin with.”

Cochise County, which borders Mexico, is one of the main routes into the U.S. for illegal aliens.

Sheriff Dever maintains that the federal government has “been talking about partnerships and empowerment since September 11 with state and local law enforcement authorities to get the job done. Arizona steps up [and] says, ‘We’re ready to take on our part,’ and they sue us.”

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio says he is not surprised by Judge Bolton’s ruling, and adds it will have little impact on his planned “crime-suppression” operation scheduled for this weekend.

“That’s not going to affect our human-smuggling or employer-sanction investigations that wasn’t addressed in that law,” Sheriff Arpaio insists.

INDONESIA’S ANSWER TO STARBUCKS

thelastcrusade.org

Indonesia’s top religious body has declared a premium coffee made from civet cat droppings fit for Muslims to drink.

The proclamation has brought relief to farmers who can now continue exporting Kopi Luwak, the world’s most expensive coffee.

The civet cats are found throughout Indonesia.

In parts of Sri Lanka, civets are considered a nuisance since they howl throughout the night and litter the attics and rooftops of common households.

But their excretions provide the mainstay of income for many Indonesian farmers and peasants.

The civets eat coffee berries which they defecate in clumps for harvesters to collect. The fecal material is dried in the sun and packaged for consumers.

In the United States, the price of a pound of Kopi Luwak varies from $600 to $1,400 per pound.

The Last Crusade reminds our readers: The United States has far more Moslems than does the United Kingdom.

Think about it.

EVENT SET FOR 9/11

MASSIVE BONFIRE EXPECTED

thelastcrusade.org

The Dove World Outreach Center, a non-denominational church in Gainesville, Florida, will celebrate “Burn the Koran” day on September 11.

Terry Jones, pastor of the church, says the burnings will be held on church grounds “in remembrance of the fallen victims of 9/11 and to stand against the evil of Islam. Islam is of the devil!”

On its website, The Dove World Outreach Center sells “Islam is of the Devil” T-shirts.

In response to the announcement, The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is calling upon Muslims in the Gainesville area to host a “Share the Koran” by distributing copies of Islam’s holy text to neighbors, public officials, law enforcement officers and members of the press.

Pastor Terry Jones is calling upon Christians throughout the country to mail copies of the Koran to the church so that the congregation can create a massive bonfire.

As soon as the plans for “Burn the Koran” day were announced, one of the Church’s signs proclaiming “Islam is of the Devil” was vandalized.

“Free speech is not Sharia compliant,” Pastor Jones says, “and the Moslem Mafia (CAIR) is openly opposed to our signs and message. But this is America and we have the law on our side.”

He adds: The police defend us and our rights, the Fire Department have no problem with our having a bonfire on 9/11, and we will not be silenced.

Pastor Jones and members of his congregation say they got the idea for “Burn the Koran” day from a Facebook page campaign called “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day.”

That campaign was initiated in reaction to threats against cartoonists and artists drawing images of the prophet Mohammed, which is forbidden in Islam.

The Florida church states its mission as follows: “To expose Islam for what it is. It is a violent and oppressive religion that is trying to masquerade as a religion of peace, seeking to deceive our society.”

GERMANY OFFERS HOTLINE FOR RADICAL MUSLIMS

DON’T SET OFF THE BOMB WITHOUT SAYING GOOD-BYE

by

Paul L. Williams, Ph.D.

If you are a Muslim suicide bomber in Germany and have second thoughts about carrying out your mission, we have good news for you.

You can call the suicide bomber hotline at 0221/792-699 and receive immediate advise from trained advisors.

The hotline is called HATIF, meaning “telephone” in Arabic and has been set up to provide guidance to Muslims who want to abandon the jihad against all non-believers.

“The primary goal of HATIF is to prevent violence in the name of Islam,” states the German Federal Constitution Protection Office.

A spokeswoman for the German domestic intelligence agency says that all callers will be granted absolute anonymity and that no tips will be related to counter-terrorism units or law enforcement officials.

The amount of money that the German government has set aside for this unique endeavor remains a mystery – - also unknown is the number of employees standing by to take the incoming calls.

“Our program is an offer for those who want to leave extremism behind,” one program official told the Associated Press. “Once we find out what their needs are, we will develop the program accordingly,” she said. The program will also reportedly help family members and friends of people who have come under influence of extremists.

“We know that in almost all of these groups, there are people who want to leave, but it is not easy to get out of such an environment,” saya Peter Neumann, an expert from the International Centre for the Study of Radicalization and Political Violence in London. “Therefore it is great that Germany makes this offer even though this definitely won’t lead to the end of radical Islam in Germany.” Neumann also mentioned that no such program exists anywhere else in Europe.

There are approximately 36,000 Islamist extremists presently in Germany – - many are considered to be potentially violent.

The Muslim population in Germany has climbed to 4.3 million, making Muslims account for 5.2 per cent of the country’s population.

The new government service is offered in Arabic, Turkish, and German.

Those who do not wish to call may receive help and discouragement by sending an e-mail to hatif@bfv.bund, or by visiting http://www.verfassungsschutz.de/en/index_en.html

After the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001, the Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz (BfV / Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution) has clearly intensified its efforts to look into Islamic extremism and Islamist terrorism.

In view of the extensive threat posed by Islamist terrorism, we would like to address all fellow citizens – especially those of the Muslim faith – and ask you for your assistance:

• Do you know of any planned acts of violence or terrorist attacks?
• Do you know anybody who is involved in the planning of acts of violence or terrorist attacks?
• Do you know of anybody being recruited for such planning?

Your hints can be of great significance for us and may save human lives. You can contact us under the following phone number:

+49-221-792-3366

This hotline is staffed 24 hours a day.

Monday to friday from 9.00 a.m. to 3.00 p.m., callers can be attended in Turkish or Arabic. Confidentiality is granted.
